Heating scheme of a private house - steam and water
If a private house is intended for permanent year-round use, then the issue should be taken seriously. Of course, we are not talking about individual heating devices, but about the heating system. It is necessary to accurately calculate everything and draw up a work plan.
The device of heating systems
Consider the following questions: the scheme of steam heating of a private house and the scheme of water heating of a house.
The scheme of water heating of a private house provides that water or antifreeze will act as a coolant. Initially, the water is heated inside the boiler and then flows to the radiators, which give heat to the air in the room. The cooled water re-enters the boiler and the process is repeated again.
The water heating system of a private house is the most popular, because water is an excellent heat carrier and when the system is turned off, it retains heat for a long time and heats the room.
The scheme for heating a residential building with air is less known. The heat carrier is heated air. Air, like water, is heated in the boiler and moves through the air ducts into the room, heating it. The cooled air is taken back by air ducts for heating. When using air for heating, heating drawings of a private house and accurate calculations are required. This is due to the fact that air, unlike water, can react to possible obstacles.
- This is a kind of intermediate option between air and water heating. Heating the room with steam occurs as follows. The water in the boiler heats up, evaporates, and the steam goes into the pipes and is fed to the radiators. After cooling, the steam condenses and again flows down the pipes to the boiler.
The scheme of steam heating of a private house provides rapid heating of the radiator, and hence the rapid heating of the room.
A photo of each of the schemes and types of heating can be seen on the Internet by entering the query into the search engine: “heating scheme of a private house, photo”.
Steam heating. Work principles
The main advantages of steam heating are efficiency and heating speed, which is higher than that of a water system. But there are certain disadvantages of the steam heating system:
- the surface of the radiator is very hot;
- rapid wear of pipelines and the boiler;
- the biggest drawback is that it is impossible to regulate the heating mode.
The heart of this type of heating system is the place where the water boils - the boiler. Fuel is supplied to the boiler, thanks to which water boils and turns into steam. Pressure is created in the supply manifold and steam enters, and through the pipes to the radiator. Condensing, the steam enters the boiler again.
Depending on the way condensed steam enters the boiler, the heating scheme is divided into open and closed. The open system includes a condensate storage tank.
The scheme of closed heating of a private house provides for a wide pipe for condensed steam.
Self-installation of such a heating system is a very complex process and requires preliminary preparation of all necessary calculations: boiler power, fuel quantity.
The structure of water heating with steam and types of fuel
The steam heating system includes the necessary components:
- boiler for heating water;
- Exhaust valve;
- pipes;
- radiators;
- furnace and pump.
In turn, they are divided into two types: two-pipe and one-pipe. In single-pipe steam and condensate pass to the radiators and back to the boiler through one pipe. The two-pipe heating scheme of a private house provides that one of the pipes passes steam to the radiators, and the condensate returns to the boiler through the other.
A two-pipe system is the best heating scheme for a private house, because in this case it is possible to regulate the temperature with a valve.
So, consider the types of fuel:
- solid fuel;
- liquid fuel;
- gaseous.
The scheme of forced heating of a private house is often used.
With the help of forced circulation of the coolant, you can create comfortable conditions in a room of any size.
To implement forced heating, you can use any pipes and any method of connecting heating devices.
The scheme for heating a house with massandra is the best option for a water heating system. This can be underfloor heating or other types of heating such as electricity or infrared heating.
Water heating at home
The boiler is the heart of the building heating system. Water heating is the most affordable and budget heating option.
The water heating system has a very simple principle of operation. The water heats up and boils in the boiler, then rises up the pipes to the radiator, gradually heating it. The cooled water is returned to the boiler, which generates its heating. Pipes should be laid with a slight slope. If this is not ensured, the system may not work properly.
